Higuerilla, Concon and Renaca
We took a local bus to the fishing village of Higuerilla, about 20 kms away. We walked to Concon and back and loved the dramatic scenery of rocks, waves crashing on shore, beautiful homes built in the hillside and flowers everywhere. The hillsides are covered by morning glories. It was spectacular. After returning to Higuerilla, we found our way to …
Back to School
... one girl (14 years old) told us of her weekend where she had gotten high with her friends and couldn’t get back home after a night out because they had no money. Interesting to say the least. Perhaps a more interesting weekend than we had had!

Chillin in Chile
... A garden containing a clock and the cities name written out in flowers seemed to be the cities main attraction. The students would unload from the buses; gather in front of the clock for a picture, then board the bus once again. Some field trip.
